So the 2-child cap is finally to be scrapped. I highlighted in Parliament the issues caused by this appalling policy back in my 2023 Members' Debate. It shouldn't have taken Labour so long to do the right thing.
However, I take nothing at face value and await full details.

Last week, I hosted a parliamentary roundtable event with MSPs + Govt officials to discuss the impressive contribution Glasgow Kelvin College makes to learners and our city economy. We found opportunities to support the College, to build on their current success. I will pursue this with the ScotGov

I submitted a motion in Parliament calling for the Abolition of the unelected House of Lords.
It continues to be an affront to democracy. Despite Labour pledging to abolish it for the last 115 years, they have delayed even the most modest reforms.
Its time is long up, it is time for it to go.

I asked the @scotgov about the work it is doing to support households at risk of fuel poverty. The investments being made are v. welcome.
It highlights the need for a Social Tariff.
The UK Govt, who have the powers, need to bring in a Social Tariff to lift 135,000 households out of fuel poverty

It was good to meet again with @charitydebra.bsky.social this week at the Scottish Parliament where I hosted a reception.
We heard from those with lived experience of Epidermolysis bullosa (EB), and more about the work Debra are looking to take forward to improve the lives of those with EB.

There has been significant concern over the UK Government’s National Insurance increases on employment. Despite that we have thankfully saw unemployment fall to 3.7% in Scotland. It has risen to 5% in the UK (ONS figures July to September).

I have today contacted Glasgow City Council about the recurring flooding under the railway bridge in Summerston. I asked for an update on what steps are being taken to address this recurring issue and what is being done to ensure the safety and accessibility of this vital route for the community

I led a debate on behalf of the Social Justice Committee regarding the financial barriers facing women seeking to leave an abusive relationship. One important recommendation was to ensure that UK, Scottish and Local Gov co-ordinate and act to remove many of these barriers.
